4 WWE stars likely to cost Jey Uso the World Heavyweight Title at Saturday Night’s Main Event

Jey Uso won a Battle Royal on WWE RAW to secure a match against CM Punk for the vacant World Heavyweight Title at Saturday Night's Main Event XLI this weekend. Punk is arguably the favorite to win the gold, but the contest might not end with a clean win for him.

In this article, we will look at four superstars who could cost Jey the title at the upcoming edition of WWE SNME.

#4. Jimmy Uso

For weeks, tensions have been brewing between The Usos. Things got ugly between the two after The Yeet Master eliminated his own brother from the Battle Royal to reign supreme. Interestingly, Jimmy saved Jey from being eliminated before the unexpected development.

Jimmy could finally take his revenge by showing up during Jey's bout at SNME and costing him a potential win.

#3. Former Undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns

Since returning at SummerSlam 2024, Roman Reigns has been a babyface. The OTC has consistently proved that he is now a changed man. Reigns is even grooming his former Right Hand Man to be the next Tribal Chief. However, this weekend could change everything.

Roman Reigns could make a shocking appearance during the World Heavyweight Title bout and cost Uso a win. The OTC hasn't found much success as a face. Therefore, he might embrace his villainous "Tribal Chief" gimmick again and punish The Yeet Master for costing him a potential victory in Perth.

#2. LA Knight

LA Knight always manages to climb up the ladder and make it to world championship contention. However, he rarely competes for the gold on a big stage.

Tonight on WWE RAW, while making his entrance, Knight seemingly expressed his disapproval of Jey competing for the vacant championship. He grabbed a spectator's poster that read, "We Want LA Knight, not Jey Uso." At SNME, Knight could do the unthinkable and attack Jey out of frustration, helping Punk emerge victorious.

#1. The Vision

The Vision has promised that it will continue to cause chaos on WWE Monday Night RAW. The Brons were set to compete in the abovementioned Battle Royal, but general manager Adam Pearce removed them from the contest to punish them for their actions.

The heel faction could wreak havoc again by interfering in the championship match and beating down Uso and Punk. Such an angle could force the referee to call off the contest.
